Using MS Access - Columns in MS Access Form

Expert: Scottgem - 11/5/2009

Question
I have an assignment for my computer science class - we created a database in Access, and we have to create a form for it as well.
The form is supposed to be formatted in a certain way, and have three different fields beside each other.
However, I can't seem to figure out how to do this, as access will only let me put two different fields beside each other, and I can't drag the other ones outside of the pre-determined "columns" that it created for me when I created the form.
Can you tell me how to get three fields beside each other, instead of two?
Thanks

Answer
What version of Access are you working in?

Also, you don't put "fields" on a form. You place controls that may or may not be bound to a field in a table. This is a subtle but important distinction.

Hope this helps,
